Plague Inc Evolved is a unique survival strategy game where your sole goal is to wipe out the human race.

Sounds fun, right?! In this game you’ll start off as a humble bacteria, and as you infect more people you’ll be able to add new abilities and disastrous health effects that make your disease more contagious and deadlier to the population.

The strategy part comes in with figuring out where to start and how fast to move. If you start off in an arid climate you’ll have to spend more points in the game adapting to colder climates, and if you move too quickly you’ll panic the world and be cured before you can win the game.

It’s important to note that this game is pretty grizzly – you’re trying to infect the entire planet and kill everyone, after all. “Win” conditions for this game are pretty harsh, because if any uninfected humans survive and there’s no way to get to them, your plague dies with the infected.

The beauty of this game is in its replayability – each time you win a scenario you unlock new virus types, new attributes, abilities and abilities. You’d be surprised how much they can boost your odds of successfully wiping out the human race.

Aside from the grim premise, this game is a lot of fun to play and can easily steal hours of your time.
